Furthermore, the invention relates to an envelope for a box for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods like cigarettes, smoking products with filter inserts, smoking products with tobacco sticks and the like, including at least one bottom wall, a front and a rear wall as well as sidewalls connecting the front and rear walls, wherein they form a container-like receiving area for receiving the box. Furthermore, the invention relates to a blank for producing such an envelope.

The present invention relates to a packaging for storing goods, inparticular rod-shaped goods like cigarettes, smoking products withfilter inserts, smoking products with tobacco sticks and the like,including an internal box with at least one container-like firstreceiving area for storing the goods and an envelope for receiving theinternal box. Furthermore, the invention relates to an envelope for abox for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods like cigarettes,smoking products with filter inserts, smoking products with tobaccosticks and the like, including at least one bottom wall, a front and arear wall as well as sidewalls connecting the front and rear walls,wherein they form a container-like receiving area for receiving the box.Furthermore, the invention relates to a blank for producing such anenvelope.

Such packagings are for example known as cuboid packagings forcigarettes or the like in a great plurality. Thus, EP 3 072 826 A1 andWO 2011/154822 A1 describe packagings for storing cigarettes, in whichan internal box for receiving the cigarettes and an envelope of thisinternal box are respectively formed. Therein, the internal box isformed movably within the envelope. By the displaceability of theinternal box with respect to the envelope, an easier removal of thecigarettes from the internal box is to be possible. Furthermore, DE 20317 270 U1 describes a reusable shell for packagings of tobacco goods.Therein, the shell is manufactured of plastic and serves for receivingthe actual packaging of the tobacco goods. Furthermore, locking devicesare provided in a receptacle of the shell, which cooperate with thepackaging for securely retaining the packaging in the shell. This knownshell is to protect the packaging from external stresses on the one handand prevent dropping out of the packaging from the shell at the sametime.

However, further requirements are to be imposed on today's packagingsfor storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods like cigarettes,smoking products with filter inserts, smoking products with tobaccosticks and the like. In particular for reasons of environmentalprotection, it has to be made sure that for example ash residues,so-called cigarette ends, used filter inserts or also consumed tobaccosticks are not simply disposed of in the environment. Hereto, knowngeneric packagings do not offer any possibilities except that thementioned waste products are introduced into the receiving area forstoring goods, in particular cigarettes. However, this cannot beexpected from a user for hygienic reasons.

Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to provide ageneric packaging, a generic envelope as well as a generic blank, whichalso ensures the possibility of storing smoking waste or other, furtheritems, besides the actual storage of goods.

A packaging with the features of claim 1, an envelope according to thefeatures of claim 18 as well as a blank with the features of claim 28serve for solving these objects. Advantageous configurations withconvenient developments of the invention are specified in the respectivedependent claims, wherein advantageous configurations of each inventiveaspect are to be regarded as advantageous configurations of therespectively other inventive aspect.

A first aspect of the invention relates to a packaging for storinggoods, in particular rod-shaped goods like cigarettes, smoking productswith filter inserts, smoking products with tobacco sticks and the like,including an internal box with at least one container-like firstreceiving area for storing the goods and an envelope for receiving theinternal box. Therein, the envelope comprises at least one opening orrecess for receiving further items in at least one second receiving areaformed by the envelope and separated from the first receiving area by abottom wall of the internal box. By the formation of the secondreceiving area, which is in particular separated from the firstreceiving area for receiving the goods, there is the possibility ofsecurely and simply introducing waste products or also other items intothe second receiving area formed by the envelope. Simply discarding thementioned waste products can thus be reliably prevented since a simplepossibility of disposal and storage of the arising waste products isgiven to the user. Therein, the internal box can be formed displaceablyor non-displaceably within the second receiving area of the envelope.This means that with a non-displaceable configuration, the packagingwith the waste products received in the second receiving area canoverall be disposed of in environmentally appropriate manner. With adisplaceable configuration, there is the possibility that the envelopeis reusable, and the waste products can be disposed of after strippingthe envelope from the internal box. After correspondingly emptying thesecond receiving area of the envelope, it can again be slid onto theinternal box. In the displaceable variant of the packaging, thedimensions of the internal box and of the envelope are chosen such thatthe internal box cannot readily detach from the envelope. In particular,the geometric configuration of the envelope corresponds to a geometricconfiguration of the internal box. In addition, it becomes clear thatthe envelope can be formed separately from the internal box.

In addition, there is the possibility that the first receiving area ofthe internal box is separated from the second receiving area of theenvelope by further wall elements of the internal box. Thus, there isfor example the possibility that at least one of the side, front or rearwall of the internal box alone or in combination with further wallelements delimits the second receiving area of the envelope from thefirst receiving area of the internal box. These embodiments of thepackaging according to the invention have an independent inventivecontent. In addition, the advantageous configurations of the inventiondescribed in the following also apply to these embodiments.

In further advantageous configurations of the packaging according to theinvention, the opening in the envelope is formed in closable ornon-closable manner. Therein, the internal box can for example be formeddisplaceably within the second receiving area of the envelope such thatthe opening is closable or can be unblocked by means of a side, front orrear wall of the internal box by means of displacement of the internalbox. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the internal box isformed displaceably within the second receiving area of the envelopesuch that a flap arranged within the envelope in the area of the openingis movable for closing or opening the opening by means of displacementof the internal box. Therein, the flap can be hinged to an inner side ofthe envelope. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the flap isformed as a slide flap and is movable and displaceable on an inner sideof the envelope in the area of the opening, in particular bydisplacement of the internal box. The capability of closing the openingensures secure storage of the items or waste products stored in thesecond receiving area of the envelope.

In further advantageous configurations of the packaging according to theinvention, the envelope is formed in one- or multi-piece manner. Theone-piece configuration in the envelope allows an inexpensive and simpleproduction of the envelope. Multi-piece configurations in particularserve for forming constructively sophisticated envelopes.

In further advantageous configurations of the packaging according to theinvention, at least one locking lug, locking tab or protrusion forengagement with a corresponding recess or notch of the inner side of theenvelope or for engagement with at least one corresponding locking lug,locking tab or protrusion protruding from the inner side of the envelopetowards the outer side of the internal box is formed on at least onesurface of the internal box facing the inner side of the envelope.Therein, the locking lug, locking tab or protrusion can be formed on thebottom wall, the front or rear wall or the sidewalls of the internalbox. For example, it is realized by a corresponding deformation of thematerial (embossing) or by punching out from the corresponding wall ofthe internal box or by adhering to the corresponding wall of theinternal box. However, there is also the possibility that at least onelocking lug, locking tab or protrusion for engagement with acorresponding recess or notch of the outer side of the internal box orfor engagement with at least one corresponding locking lug, locking tabor protrusion protruding from the outer side of the internal box towardsthe inner side of the envelope is formed on at least one surface of theenvelope facing the outer side of the internal box. Therein, the lockinglug, locking tab or protrusion can be formed on the front or rear wallor the sidewalls of the envelope. For example, it is realized by acorresponding deformation of the material (embossing) or by punching outfrom the corresponding wall of the envelope or by adhering to thecorresponding wall of the envelope. By the formation of this lockingfunction, it is advantageously possible to at least temporarily limitthe path of displacement between the internal box and the envelope. Inparticular, a signal is sent to the user of the packaging upondisplacing the internal box and/or envelope upon engagement of thelocking connection as well as also upon a possible detachment of thelocking connection via a change of the required force effort that thelocking position is now reached or the locking position is left.

In further advantageous configurations of the packaging according to theinvention, the second receiving area is at least partially provided witha waterproof and/or incombustible coating. Thus, the material of thepackaging could be a coated material, multi-layer or compound material,which optionally comprises at least one metal layer. For example, ametal coating or heat-resistant plastic coating attached from inside oroutside can serve as a fire safety coating. Overall, possible damages byrelatively hot smoke waste of the envelope are advantageously reliablyprevented. Also, in case of an unintended water entry into the secondreceiving area of the envelope, possible damages by the enteringmoisture are reliably prevented.

In further advantageous configurations of the packaging according to theinvention, the envelope comprises at least one bottom wall, a frontwall, and a rear wall as well as sidewalls connecting the front and rearwalls, wherein they form the container-like second receiving area.Therein, there is the possibility that the opening is continuouslyformed in the sidewall forming an outer side of the envelope and in thesidewall forming an inner side of the envelope, wherein the sidewallsare extensively connected to each other. Furthermore, there is thepossibility that the opening is formed in the sidewall forming an outerside of the envelope and the flap or closure tab is formed in thesidewall forming an inner side of the envelope, wherein the sidewallsare extensively connected to each other. Advantageously, bothembodiments can be constructively simply represented and produced.

Furthermore, there is the possibility that the recess or notch forreceiving the locking lug, locking tab or protrusion of the internal boxis formed in the sidewall forming an inner side of the envelope, whereinthe sidewalls are extensively connected to each other such that theexternal sidewall closes the recess or notch. Therein, the locking lug,locking tab or protrusion for engagement with the corresponding recessor notch can be formed on the bottom wall of the internal box. However,other possibilities of configuration of the attachment of the mentionedlocking means to the internal box are also conceivable.

The internal box is a customary cigarette packaging or a packaging forsmoking products with filter inserts or a packaging for smoking productswith tobacco sticks. Other possibilities of the use of the packagingaccording to the invention are also conceivable. Therein, the packagingcan be composed of paper, cardboard, plastic, or a combination of atleast two of these materials.

Furthermore, the packaging can comprise envelopes as well as internalboxes, in which the respective transitions between the side elements orwall elements are at least partially formed by distinctly marked edgesand/or edge surfaces. Therein, the edge surfaces can also be formedrounded. The envelopes and internal boxes generally have a polygonalcross-section to the longitudinal axis of the packaging, wherein theindividual corner areas can also be formed rounded. The same alsoapplies to flat, lying packagings, the vertical axis of which is formedshorter than the corresponding horizontal axis.

A second aspect of the invention relates to an envelope for a box forstoring goods, in particular rod-shaped goods like cigarettes, smokingproducts with filter inserts, smoking products with tobacco sticks andthe like, including at least one bottom wall, a front and a rear wall aswell as sidewalls connecting the front and rear walls, wherein they forma container-like receiving area for receiving the box. Therein, theenvelope comprises at least one opening or recess for receiving items.Therein, the opening is arranged in the area of the container-likereceiving area such that items, but also waste products like ash, usedfilter inserts or used tobacco sticks, can also be introduced into andstored in the container-like receiving area. In particular, the envelopeis formed as a separate element and can be reused. Furthermore, there isthe possibility that the envelope is formed in one- or multi-piecemanner. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the geometricconfiguration of the envelope corresponds to a geometric configurationof the box. Therein, the envelope in particular is to be dimensionedsuch that the box to be introduced can be securely retained within thecontainer-like receiving area. By the configuration of thecontainer-like receiving area and the possibility of the access throughthe opening, items or also smoking waste can be securely and readilyintroduced into the envelope. In addition, there is the possibility toagain empty the envelope in simple manner and thereby to reuse it.

In further advantageous configurations of the envelope according to theinvention, the opening is continuously formed in the sidewall forming anouter side of the envelope and in the sidewall forming an inner side ofthe envelope, wherein the sidewalls are extensively connected to eachother. However, there is also the possibility that the opening is formedin the sidewall forming an outer side of the envelope and at least oneflap for opening and closing the opening is formed in the sidewallforming an inner side of the envelope, wherein the sidewalls areextensively connected to each other. Both embodiments of the envelopeaccording to the invention can be constructively simply represented,whereby the production cost remain low. Furthermore, there is thepossibility of closing the opening such that a secure storage of theitems or waste products in the container-like receiving area of theenvelope is ensured.

In further advantageous configurations of the envelope according to theinvention, at least one recess or notch for receiving a correspondinglocking lug, locking tab or protrusion is formed in the sidewall formingan inner side of the envelope, wherein the sidewalls are extensivelyconnected to each other such that the outer sidewall closes the recessor notch. Therein, the mentioned locking lug, locking tab or protrusionis usually positioned at corresponding locations of the box to beintroduced into the envelope.

However, there is also the possibility that at least one locking lug,locking tab or protrusion is formed in the sidewall forming an innerside of the envelope, wherein the inner and outer sidewalls areextensively connected to each other. In this case, the mentioned lockingmeans are formed such that they can engage with corresponding recessesor openings of the box to be introduced into the container-likereceiving area of the envelope. A secure retention between envelope andintroduced box is ensured by the mentioned locking functions.

However, it is also possible that at least one locking lug, locking tabor protrusion is hinged to and/or formed on an inner side of theenvelope and/or at least one locking lug, locking tab or protrusion ishinged to and/or formed on a surface of the internal box, in particularthe bottom wall. The mentioned locking means serve for locking to eachother, in particular upon a relative movement of the envelope to theinternal box and vice versa.

In further advantageous configurations of the envelope according to theinvention, the receiving area is at least partially provided with awaterproof and/or incombustible coating. A damage to the envelope bymoisture, water entry or also the introduction of hot smoke waste isreliably prevented by the mentioned coating. Therein, the envelope canbe composed of paper, cardboard, plastic, or a combination of at leasttwo of these materials.

Further features and the advantages thereof of the second inventiveaspect can be taken from the descriptions of the first inventive aspect.
